Loup Garou
Through the haze of fading sleep, I felt Sam's hairy chest pressed up against my back. That bastard. His arm was around me again and I opened my eyes and angrily shifted to try to throw it off of me. The arm I saw, however was covered in leathery,...
Troglodyte
"Jonas-" I started to say, but my words caught in my throat as I rolled over. A large, human-like chest covered in thick black fur filled my vision. I looked up to see the beast's broad lower jaw sitting perfectly still on the pillow. It was snoring....
Nemesis
We transferred to another train in Virginia and I spent the rest of the trip drifting in and out of sleep. Jonas's cold nose against my cheek woke me up after the train had stopped. Outside the car window, the sun was starting to set. I slung the...
Absolute Power

For Old Time's Sake: Chapter 1
I could feel the mud squelching under my boots as we struggled through the foul smelling swamp. The trees around us hung down from the weight of moss and clinging vines and sunlight filtered through them occasionally. I grumbled...
For Old Time's Sake: Chapter 2
Maritza and Shim stood on the dais in the center of the black pit. The elf had been yelling into the abyss after Karex for nearly five minutes at the edge. The rest of the room was deadly quiet. "Let it be, Maritza," Shim...
